By using the below code, I'm trying to start new service from a Broadcast receiver, but the service does not seem to start. What is the correct way to start a service in kotlin?

val intent = Intent(context, LocationService::class.java)
 if (context != null) {
      context.startService(intent)
 }

try this

 val intent = Intent(context, LocationService::class.java)
 if (context != null) {
      context.startService(intent)
 }

And don't forget to register your service in manifest file

 <service  android:name="packageName.LocationService"/>
